Nearing The End Of The Trial

At first I thought that if you legalized prostitution, as they have done in Holland-Netherlands, it might be safer, as long as it was controlled and monitored properly. I'm not saying pimps or madams are the answer either. However, if you think about it, it would scar those who go that route, and drugs and alcohol would have to remain a factor to numb out the negative emotions of shame, anger, et cetera. Then it's not making anything better.

So I say once again, if you take care of the drugs and alcohol that interfere with people dealing with reality and life on life's terms, the more power to the people. If we get strict with the laws on drug dealers, especially organized crime or whomever makes the makes the crap. Deport those who come into our country and get involved in dealing drugs. Give longer sentences to Canadians that get caught.

I've talked with many people regarding this and every one of them agrees with me. People are sick and tired of criminals getting only a couple of months in jail. That's like slapping them on the back of the hand and telling them not to do it again.

Don't tell us the government can't afford it with all our taxpayers' monies. They tore down Okala/Lakeside for women to put up housing. Same with the B.C. Penetentiary - they put up housing in its place. It's great for the criminally-minded, now they have more houses to break into.

So what's the answer? Do we legalize prostitution, which is like giving out free heroin at the safe injection sites, or do we make it tougher for girls to walk down a path that leads to nowhere?
